When asked about Nanaimo's unemployment numbers, Liberal MLA John Les said «
Everybody is looking for work
around home» and
suggested residents should abandon their homes because «they may not be aware» that other communities might have jobs.
One of the most popular things the council did was to
suggest science could come to the rescue and find a way
around an ethical impasse to produce a mode of obtaining stem cells that
everybody would regard as ethical, and that this vexed period of our politics could be put behind us.
